“Through the Fires” is the third listen off Angel Olsen’s forthcoming album Big Time, due out in June’s beginning, and it holds a special significance among its surrounding scenery which the nomadic songwriter etches in a fearless heart and a decidedly countryesque turn that permeates throughout the LP. “‘Through The Fires’ is the centerpiece statement of this record. It’s a song I wrote to remind myself that this life is temporary, the past is not something to dwell on, that it’s important to keep moving, keep searching for the people that are also searching, and to notice the moments that are lighter and bigger than whatever trouble I’ve encountered,” said Olsen of its creation. Whereas its predecessors “All the Good Times”and“Big Time” kindled rustically in twang and crooning valor, this track expands those humble views with big, breathy, orchestral balladry that transform ascendant. “And let go of the pain that obstructs you from higher, higher, higher,” she proclaims in its final moments.

“At the time of my mothers passing I kept having these super visual dreams about time travel. Later on I decided I’d name the record Big Time, not only because of the song but also as a kind of wink to time expansion and change. When I approached Kimberly Stuckwisch about making these videos, I thought it would be cool to include the storyline of one of the dreams I’d had, and really use it as a way to tell the story of the songs. She added dialogue and events, some that are based in reality and others that haven’t happened, to create a story arc around my dream, to give it a thicker plot, using the music videos within and creating a larger film. I’ve always had a vivid imagination and it was really special to make these subconscious moments real, but it was also a really emotional and raw process and felt almost at times like a spiritual clearing, that by putting myself in the story and moving pieces of it around, I also personally had to re-examine my losses and find a new way to process the events that actually took place in my life. Though most of it is scripted, it is probably the most intimate work I have ever made and shared with the public.. and it serves as an homage to my mother. I only wish my mom was here to listen to the record, because something tells me that she would have really liked this one.”
